Hilltowns Senior News for Thursday, February 15, 2018
Hello, we are still alive and well after a few weeks without a column.
Monika Boeckmann, executive director of the Senior Services of Albany, will lead a town-hall style meeting on Monday, Feb. 26, at 12:30 p.m. to discuss the successes and challenges of 2017 and to learn the exciting 2018 challenges.
Please register for lunch by calling 518-937-5963, and bring your concerns and questions to let us know what you’d like to see at our meal site.
Paint and sip
We also are planning a paint-and-sip program for Friday, Feb. 23, and Friday, March 2, after lunch. Registration for this program is required two days in advance so we have adequate supplies. Call 518-937-5963 for enrolling in this program.
This is a free painting class with an instructor and supplies included. Join us to create your own masterpiece.
Access Office
Eileen Bosworth from the Albany County Department of Aging is at the Berne Access Office every Tuesday from noon to 2 p.m.
She is the one to see if you’ve got a question regarding Medicare or how to obtain a health-care provider. She also handles food-stamp questions.
The town of Berne furnished us with a waterhog entry mat, which readily absorbs moisture.
Come join us for lunch, games, programs, and lively conversation.
Thanks to the Berne-Knox-Westerlo fourth- and fifth-graders for the pretty valentines they made for us. We appreciate seeing them and their teachers.
